摘要: Resonant magnctotunneling current through double barrier systems is calculated for B⊥J by means of the Generalized Transfer Hamiltonian formalism1.Both coherent and sequential tunneling processes are anulyzcd as a function external bias magnetic field. The characteristic curve I/V qualitatively very different magnetotunncling their relative intensity can he controlled changing field sample characteristics.We propose model to describe process in terms Hall discret set channels.
